Grab a spoon and use its edges, so you make sure the angles on both of your eyes are identical. You can also use a card if it feels easier for you. Step up your winged eyeliner game by using a different color rather than black. While black is quite amazing, feel free to use blue for a change.
7 Cute Polka Dots Eyeliner
If you are more of a cutie pie rather than a bold girl, there are different options out there for you. You don’t have to go for seductive makeup ideas just because they are trending. If they don’t reveal who you are or express what you feel, ditch them and look for better options that work for you. Here’s a nice idea to consider; draw polka dots with your eyeliner. But before you draw those dots, you are going to need a base that makes them clear. Dust a white eyeshadow over your lids and go for matte ones. Afterward, grab your eyeliner and make sure the tip is quite thin, so the dots don’t appear way too large. Start dotting your lids in a pattern as if you are tracing an already drawn winged eyeliner. Try to make both sides as identical as possible.

You will look ultimately trendy and glamorous next to all of your girlfriends. Above and beyond, don’t take it too things too far. You can freely wear glittery eye makeup, but keep everything else simple for a sexy balance. For your lips, go for neutral and nude colors and avoid bold one. The same goes for your dress and hair, wear both of them in the simplest and classic ways ever.
10 Gold Effect
Gold has a great impact on a girl’s femininity too. Experiment your options with a daring attitude because proms happen once in a lifetime.
